Zen found this story about a blind soldier using a lollypop-sized tongue sensor to 'see.' The system actually enables him to walk and read unaided. The guy says, "It feels like licking a nine-volt battery or like popping candy. The camera sends signals down onto the lollypop and onto your tongue, you can then determine what they mean and transfer it to shapes."

"Don't worry, you have nothing to fear from Tongue Tongue - he's only tasting you. But likewise don't resist for he can crush you quite easily. The tongue is a very powerful muscle and Tongue Tongue is all tongue and I am Dr. Mong Mong. Now release the nice mothman, Tongue Tongue - here is an individually-wrapped slice of processed cheese."... and once Tongue Tongue is trapped in Arthur's body, and is sobbing and licking the floor...

"He weeps for he has but one small tongue with which to taste an entire world. "
